We like to keep up with our man Lapo Elkann’s latest looks, and one place he’s guaranteed to flaunt them is the opening of a new Italia Independent store.

With severely cropped hair, we’d say he’s looking a trifle gaunt, and even rather soberly attired in a double-breasted chalk stripe suit and turtleneck sweater.

Purely temporary, we’re sure…
